This thought brought to you in particular by an Age of Empires 2 commentary yesterday that described the players involved as in the top 15% by rating where it gets "pretty solid, but not quite that expert level".

Like enjoy high level play all you want, but if you're gonna be a snooty asshole towards 85% of the playerbase of a video game, something that is at best a hobby, then something about your perspective is a bit fucked up.
